Starting to come to the conclusion that at the ripe old age of 28 I am now outside of their target demographic.

Does anyone know who the person was on radio one. Think he did something like 3 nights a week about 10pm. Kind of alternative stuff. Lots of new or unheard of stuff and lots of talking. he was great. he has since moved on and I don't now which radio station.

Hated her

I used to deliberately have her set on the alarm clock and the alarm across the other side of the room so I had to get up to switch her off.

Can't remember the last time I even thought about tuning to Radio 1. Only time I really listen to the radio now is for Clue, Now Show, News Quiz, Newfangle or things like that.

Aww I quite like Sara Cox, she does say things that makes me giggle. It's light and fluffy... and sometimes in the afternoon with a cuppa and a pile of work I like light and fluffy.

Edith Bowman... I think I like her. I like the whole movies side of things... but then I'm wondering whether that's me liking the dude instead who reviews the movies (is it James?). I'm unsure. Once again it's just background stooff.


Fearne though... I think she's fab as a presenter on toovd but on radio... I just don't think it quite works.

Radio 1 tends to be my Moylesy morning listening, maybe some Scott Mills if I'm driving about in the afternoon but then the rest of the time it's Radio 2 for me (well... I may switch over when I know the film reviewy stuff is on).


We shall see what happens. At the moment, the music that's being played on Radio 1 is poop anyways so I'm happy listening to my own stuff for now until it picks back up. Stupid dance stuff. I mean... seriously... what's on with the whole evacuate the dance floor pants?


I think I'm getting old and grumpy.

I hated stupid dance stuff when I was well within the radio 1 demographic, so I don't feel old for hating it now (And for feeling that it's the one genre of music that hasn't moved an inch since 1995).
Also - Five Live's Peter Allen is the best broadcaster out there today And Simon Mayo and Mark Kermode are always well worth a listen on Friday afternoons.

I can't stand Radio 1 Too much inane talk not enough music. I do listen to talk radio, but that's SUPPOSED to be talk radio. All the messing around on Radio 1 gets on my tits.

Yep. Nothing about this station appeals to me anymore. And I like techno(not what R1 plays mind)! BBC6 music is where its at.
